1. Probably because you're a good citizen.
Who cares about your country.

I used to have to write letters to Santorum.

I understand your frustration.

6. I wrote urging him to support the stimulus package
And I got back the same garbage about cutting taxes he always sends. I expected that. What surprised me - even though it shouldn't have - was the fact that the man can't even spell 'Democratic' correctly.

X is different at each level of govt, larger at Congressional level.

THANK YOU :yourock:
